Find a filter that works
Once you know what contaminants you have in your tap water, find a filter.
Have you ever heard of Everpure?
Everpure is a leading name in water treatment for the residential, commercial and food service markets. Everpure sets the standard for water filtration.
The filter membrane has nearly 6 times the filtering surface area of carbon filters, so it’s like packing nearly 6 filters into one canister.
Everpure uses a reverse osmosis system that filters out a wider range of contaminants than most ordinary carbon filters.
The H-300 is one of the most popular filtration systems that Everpure offers; and this is because the operating cost is lower than the price of bottled water
The H-300 is a single cartridge, sanitary quick change filtration system. The cartridge is encapsulated and removes from the system with just a quarter turn. This means that replacing the H-300 filter cartridge is sanitary and as easy as changing a light bulb, in fact it’s even easier than changing a light bulb and there is almost no chance you will get electrocuted.
Designed with Everpure’s Micro-Pure technology, the H-300 delivers great tasting water every time, while reducing the following contaminants:
Ø Lead
Ø Cysts (such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium)
Ø Volatile organic compounds (VOC) including trihalomethanes (THM)
Ø Chlorine, taste and odor
Ø Dirt and Cloudiness
Ø Mold and algae
Ø Oxidized iron, manganese and sulfides
Ø Particles 0.5 micron and larger in size
Filtering your water will improve the taste of your coffee, tea, juice, soups and
sauces.
Skip bottled water
Despite marketing hype, bottled water is not necessarily any safer than tap water, and it can cost up to 1,900 times more! In fact, industry reports show that up to 44 percent of bottled water is just tap water -- filtered in some cases, but not necessarily in all cases. And because bottled water manufacturers aren't required to publish their water quality tests, you may not know exactly what you're getting.
Bottled water may be contaminated with plastic additives that migrate from the bottles.
